“Don't need to, they merely point out that the discussion existed”

I don't think anyone disputes that the NBC clause existed in the Constitution. Obviously there were discussions of it. But have you even read the Hamilton quote? It doesn't support your position.

“the SCOTUS decisions are what count, you go carefully read the text.”

I have. You don't know what you're talking about. You're simply cutting and pasting various references misrepresented by people who will never win this case with them.

“Then you cite Wong Kim Ark, a decision the dealt with citizenship, not NBC?”

None of these decisions, not Wong Kim Ark or any of those you cite, were specifically asked to define an NBC. None did. If you read them, instead of simply cutting and pasting references from con men trying to create an inferential web, you will discover that. But Wong Kim Ark provides by far the most explicit discussion of the NBC issue, and has been cited by an actual Court as supporting the proposition that Obama is a NBC.

“You think the Founder sacrificed everything so a the son of a British Subject could become POTUS?”

Since they were sons of British subjects themselves, it's hardly inconceivable they would extend that right to others born here. The Hamilton quote you cited clearly states someone born here is a citizen eligible to be President.

“The NBC meaning is clear, except to trolls.”

And actual courts. Just because you fervently want something to be true doesn't mean that it is.

Hamilton wanted foreigners naturalized at birth to be eligible for POTUS, but Hamilton LOST. Jay and Washington overruled him, and his language regarding eligibility was not used the Constitution.

Hope this helps.
